Permit Forms

  1. Applicable fees are application fees which are non-refundable and payment must be made at the time of application. Payment must be in the form of a check or money order (credit cards are no longer accepted for permit application fees).
  2. Applications and application fees must be mailed to the Permits Section (mailing address is provided on the application form) except for the Bird Banding, Scientific Collection, Threatened and Endangered Species, and Salvage Permit applications which must be sent electronically to collectionpermits@dgif.virginia.gov. These four permits must have their applications sent electronically as they are shared with agency subject matter experts before they can be approved. The application fee for these four specific permits must be mailed in (to the address listed on the permit applications) along with a completed copy of the first page of the application form.
  3. All applications must be complete – please ensure that you have included all necessary information on your application as incomplete applications will be returned, unprocessed to the applicant.
  4. Permit applicants should allow for a minimum of thirty (30) days for the receipt and processing of all applications. Applicants for Bird Banding, Scientific Collection, Threatened and Endangered Species, and Salvage Permits should anticipate more than a thirty (30) day processing time for those permit applications as those have to be reviewed and approved by Department biologists prior to issuance.
